What is a croissant?
For anyone wondering what Jezer wonders, I have the answer to the question,What is a Croissant? (And the answer to What is Chewing Gum...?)
A French man is having his coffee, croissants, bread, butter
and jam at the breakfast table when an American sits down
next to him.
The Frenchman ignores the American who, nevertheless,
starts a conversation.
"You French folk eat the whole bread?" asks the American,
with a large piece of chewing gum in his mouth.
"Of course!"
The American blows a bubble with his chewing gum, then
remarks, "We don't. In the States, we only eat what's inside.
We collect the crusts in containers, recycle them, then
transform them into croissants, and sell them to France."
The American has a smirk on is face. All the while, the
Frenchman listens in silence.
"Do ya eat jelly with the bread?" asks the American.
"Of course!"
The American cracks his gum between his teeth and chuckles,
"We don't. In the States, we eat fresh fruit for breakfast, put
all peel, seeds and leftovers in containers, recycle them, then
transform them into jam, and sell it to France."
"And, what do you Americans do with condoms once you've
used them?" asks the Frenchman.
"We throw them away, of course," replies the American, with
a dumbfounded look.
The Frenchman explains, "We don't. In France, we put them
in a container, recycle them, then melt them down into
chewing gum and sell it to America."
